The directions below will give guidance on successfully cleaning leather, as well as the best way to apply the Renapur products for effective leather waterproofing.

Renapur Leather Balsam

The most important point when using Renapur Leather Balsam is not to
use too much as it should all be absorbed into the leather. Apply
sparingly. Dip the application sponge into the pot of balsam. Wipe the
sponge over the edge of the pot to take off any excess. Generally
speaking if you can see Renapur Balsam on the sponge you are using too
much.

If you are using Renapur Balsam to treat shoes and boots then you
don’t have to clean them with our cleaner first unless the dirt has
ingrained into the leather. Renapur Leather Balsam can deal with a bit of mud or
dirt which will just dissolve away from the leather and come off onto
the sponge. You can even use Renapur Balsam on leather that is damp.

Gently
work the treated sponge over the leather article. Renapur Leather
Balsam will quickly absorb into the leather working its bit of magic as
it goes. There is no need to buff.

If you have applied too much Renapur Leather Balsam and it hasn’t all
absorbed into the leather, then simply wipe off the excess with a soft
clean cloth.

Renapur Leather Cleaner

Directions:

1. Using clean water lightly dampen the leather you want to clean.2.
Dilute 10-20ml of Cleaner with 1 litre of clean lukewarm water. Take a
clean sponge, work into a lather, rub gently into the area to be
cleaned. For tough dirt use undiluted Cleaner.3. Rinse the cleaned
leather with clean water and allow to dry naturally away from direct
sunlight or direct sources of heat ie radiators.4. For ultimate protection the leather should then be treated with Renapur Leather Balsam.

Renapur Hi-Shine

Directions:

1. Give the container a quick shake.2. Apply a small amount of Renapur Hi-Shine to the applicator sponge. Not too much as a little goes a long way.3. Work the sponge over the leather article applying Renapur Hi-Shine evenly.4. Allow to dry for 15 seconds5. Buff gently to achieve the most beautiful shine

When the shine on your leather starts to diminish just treat with
Renapur Leather Balsam which will restore the Hi-Shine instantly. Only
use Hi-Shine again when Renapur fails to reinvigorate the shine.Buffing:
An old army trick. Simply stuff an old thick sock into a pair of nylon
tights or a stocking and buff your leather with that. It achieves a far
better and quicker result than any other way we know. Just use ordinary
nylons, fishnets just don’t do the trick in this instance!

Application Sponges

Please note: Keep you sponges separate for each product, for example
do not apply Renapur Hi-Shine to a sponge previously used for Leather Balsam as
the result will not be so good.
